About Semolina dessert

Semolina dessert, known as "semolina halwa" in South Asia or "revani" in Mediterranean cuisines, is a sweet, indulgent treat made primarily from semolina flour, sugar, and ghee or butter. Often flavored with cardamom, cinnamon, or citrus zest, it's a versatile dish enjoyed across cultures, sometimes garnished with nuts, dried fruits, or syrups like rose water. Semolina, a wheat-based coarse flour, provides a source of carbohydrates and some protein, while nuts contribute healthy fats and fiber. However, its high sugar content and use of ghee or butter make it calorie-dense and less suitable for regular consumption for those managing blood sugar or cholesterol levels. This dessert is a celebration dish, typically served at special occasions, offering a balance of comforting texture and flavor, while requiring mindful portion control for a healthy diet.
